A poll from Reddit's r/braincels shows that whites constitute only 28% of that forum's population, with the largest racial demographic being South Asian (eg. Indian). However, a subsequent poll from the same forum with a larger sample size (N = 1267), showed that 54.8% of the respondents to the poll were white. The most recent poll by the website incels.co showed that 57% of its members were white. | A poll from Reddit's r/braincels shows that whites constitute only 28% of that forum's population, with the largest racial demographic being South Asian (eg.

A study based on US national suicide mortality data between 1991 and 1996 has shown that the highest suicide rates were observed for White male widowers aged 20-24 (381 per 100,000, i.e. ~33 times higher than the national average in 1996 and ~17 times higher than married men in that category). | A study based on US national suicide mortality data between 1991 and 1996 has shown that the highest suicide rates were observed for White male widowers aged 20-24 (381 per 100,000, i.e. ~33 times higher than the national average in 1996 and ~17 times higher than married men in that category). | ||
For female White widows in the same age group, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | For female White widows in the same age group, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 when going from being married to widowed, and it is not significantly higher than the national average. | ||
